"And there is Miss Ida White crossing
the road to the opposite side Of the way,
and there, sir, are my men following her,
without her having the slightest suspi-
cion that she is being tracked"
My sight is strong, and I had a clear
view of Ida White. She was stylishly
dressed, and was certainly good looking.
''It is my opinion" said Fowler, "that
she feathered her nest when she was in
Mrs Layton's service; but I don't care
how much money she may have saved or
filched, if she goes on betting on horses
the book makers will have every penny
of it."
There was nothing more to be done,

said Fowler. "It happens often enough
that watchers are watched, without their
being aware of it,"
Before I babe Fowler good day I i'm
pressed upon him that no money was to
be spared in the business I had intrusted
to him, and that he had better engage
two or three men, to be ready for any
emergency that might occur. He prom
ised to do so and made my way home.

address, as well as the address Of Ida
White. 1 quickly opened the letter which
Edward Layton had written in prison
to Mabel Rutland, and which I had
posted. 1t was very short, to the follow
ing effect:
'DEAR Miss RUTLAND,-All is WELL
Have no fear. Do not write to me until
you hear from me again. Believe me,
faithfully yours, EDWARD LAYTON"
Thus it was that he endeavored to keep
from the woman he loved the true knowl-
edge of the peril in which he stood. TO
save her good name he was ready to 60
cheerfully to his death.

"DEAR Mr.. LA1NG-My intermediate
letters will have placed you in possession
of all that has occurred. Edward Layton
is released with honor, and it has been the
subject of hundreds of leading articles
that the obstinacy of one juryman, who
refused to be guided by circumstantial
evidence, saved q noble young fellow from
an unjust death. A great blow has been
struck against the jury system. Eleven
men wrong and one man right!-people
could hardly believe it. But it was so in
this instance, and / have no doubt it has
been so in others. You being now Il mar
ried man, domestically happy and con-
tented, the news have to impart will

there was not one idle word.
"An awful charge may be laid against
me-" That charge, undoubtedly, was
the murder of Mrs. Layton. 81 am not

word was not my voices' The witness re-
piled that it had not occurred to him.
Then Layton said, You are certain that
it was my voice?' And the witness re-
piled, Yes, sir To me, these two ques-
tions put by Layton are convincing proof
that it was not he who entered the car
riage from Prevost's restaurant"
''But he wore his ulster" said DR..
Daincourt.
''Here, again." I said, 1--WE have evi-
dence which, to my mind, is favorable.
The waiter testifies that when Layton en-
tered the room in which the supper was
ordered he took off his ulster and hung it
on peg in the wall, at some distance
from the table at which he sat. More
over, he sat with his back to the coat.
Layton, in his cross examination, asked
the waiter, Did I put the overcoat on be-
fore left the rooms The waiter replied,
Yes The judge interrupted with the
rebuke, You have scid in examination
that you did not see the prisoner and his
companion leave the room.' And the wit
ness replied, But when I returned, after
being away for three or four minutes,
monsieur was gone and the coat was also
gone The prisoner put his last question
to the waiter, you did not see me put on
the overcoat9'u And the witness answered,
NO. Doctor, T see light. Bring me
news of the ring set with turquoises and
diamonds. I shall be at home the whole
of the evening""
After Dr.. Daincourt's departure made
hurried breakfast, went through my
correspondence and resumed my task of
examining Eustace Rutland's letters to
his sister. The second opened communi-
cation was exactly Of the same shape and
form as the first which had deciphered.

MISS EMMA GALLOWAY.
A Memphis Belle Draws Out Nashville
Society En- Masse.

Since the issuance OF invitations by Miss
Hattie Marhall 10 a reception in honor Of
her friend and guest, Miss Emma Gallo
way, OF Memphis, theoycnt has been looked
forward TO with anticipations OF delight,
says the Nashville American, Of Saturday.
There are none who can entertain more
handsomely than Miss Marshall and her
charming mother, as all who were present
last night will attest. The Maxwell house
parlors and dancing hall were the scene OF
the gaiety, aud though there is usually an
abundance of room, everywhere was filed
with the bellies and bcauX of Nashville and
sister cities. There were in all probability
more than 100 couples, and these, es-
pecially the ladies, were altircd in the
most elegant and striking OF costumes.
The arrangement was excellent. In
the triple parlors the reception was con-
Quoted. The corridors and long brilliantly
lighted halls wcrc utilized by the proii-
enadeS, the ladies ordinary by the dancers,
while on another floor, in the most charm
ing OF private parlors, the rcireshmspts
were served. Two bands Of music, one
In the reception parlors and the other In
the dancing hall, were kept busy. Mention
has already been made OF the ladies' toll
cites, but more than passing mention ~
deserved. They were all seen the first
time for the season, and could but be adj
mircd. None were handsomer than those
worn by Miss Marshall and her guest. The
former wore pink silk, decollettc and en-
trainc, trimmed with natural flowers.
Miss Galloway, a striking beauty, wore
very handsome white silk, decOllette.
To attempt to give list Of all present, with
the toilcttes, would be useless. The attend
ancc, in size and character, was, itself. n
tribute 10 the popularity Of Miss
Marshall and n most hearty welcome 10
her guest Especially noticeable amongst
the visitors was Miss Tompkins, n niece OF
Senator William Is. Beck, Of Kentucky.
She is q representative Kentucky beauty.
with all the graccs and accomplishments
that should 60 hand in hand.
The early hour OF the morning had
come before the last Of the guests had dis
appeared.
